CHS Choirs World of Fun

Recently, Central's Chamber Choir, Concert Choir, and Women's Choir all packed onto three buses and visited Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, Missouri to perform and compete in their music festival. With over 80 choirs competing at Worlds of Fun, Central did an amazing job and was able to get critiques from incredibly talented musicians. 

This being Alberta Smith's 29th and final year conducting CHS Choirs, she was prouder than ever when Central took home the gold with first and second place out of all 80 high school choirs competing and sweepstakes. Mrs. Smith says to choir students,"This is unbelievable. Thank you, thank you all for giving me the best past 29 years I could have ever asked for. We did it!"

Although the three hour bus ride up and back was agonizing, according to Koral Saeed it was still pretty fun. "As much as I hated being crammed in a tiny bus with so many people, I was able to sit with my friends and have a good time." Students on the bus sang all the way up to KC with high hopes for the weekend. Taylor Haverstick, a member of Chamber and Concert Choir says,"Being able to harmonize with your best friends is so cool to me. Yes, we were crowded and yes, we were hot, but we made the most of it. We started singing Party In The USA on the way up to Kansas City and I looked around and realized what a cool group of people we are. This is why Central is so awesome." 

"Not only were we able to go to Worlds of Fun and play in the park all day, but we were also the overall winners of the competition! It was such an awesome day and if I could go back to that weekend, I would in a heartbeat."-Mikala B'Williams, Member of Women's Choir.

The Women's Choir received their critique audio recordings from the judges and listened to them in class. The advice from the judges was helpful and very minimal. Mrs. Smith says,"I know there are things we can improve on because there is always room for improvement. However, I am so proud of my kids this past weekend and they know they did an amazing job."

Not only did the Choirs compete and win it all, but Central's band did too! Marching Band took first and second place at World of Fun that weekend, as well. 

Way to go, CHS! Central's Choirs and Band make us proud to be bulldogs.
